Abstract
A robotic pool cleaner includes a housing, a propulsion mechanism configured to propel the robotic pool cleaner along an interior surface of a pool, and a suction mechanism for drawing liquid from the pool into the housing. A transceiver is configured to receive a signal that is indicative of a relative location of another robotic pool cleaner. A controller is configured to control the propulsion mechanism in accordance with the indicated location of the other robotic pool cleaner
Claims10
A system for cleaning a pool, the system comprising:
- a retroreflector;
- and
- a plurality of robotic pool cleaners, each robotic pool cleaner of said plurality of robotic pool cleaners comprising:
- a housing;
- a propulsion mechanism configured to propel said each robotic pool cleaner along an interior surface of a pool;
- a suction mechanism for drawing liquid from the pool into the housing;
- an optical transceiver configured to emit an optical signal and to receive a retroreflection of the emitted optical signal that is reflected from the retroreflector;
- and
- a controller that is configured to control the propulsion mechanism in accordance with the received retroreflection.
